The $$$ amoutn doesn't include the people we send, nor does it include personal and organiztions contributions. That is strictly money from the US gov't "help other nations account" to the nations affected. It will rise much higher than that and will not include the slararies of the gov't personnel we send over to help. Nor will it include the $$$ we will contribute over the next few years/decades to help rebuild their economy.
Amazing how everything the US does or doesn't do pisses off the rest of the world.
